I had noticed the posts popping up and it was nice to see.
One thing I find about the BIFL forums is that it ends up being a lot of the same things over and over again, because, well, they’re the things that lasted, most likely because they are simple things. Perhaps you could have an item of the week, such as what over the ear headphones have lasted you the longest, what sneaker took more of a beating than you ever thought it could, etc. More things that get used everyday but maybe not BIFL god tier like a cast iron pan, but something you would like to get 5-10 years out of. Speed Queens are great, but most people only buy a washer/dryer every decade or so, so there isn’t much conversation to be had in a small user base like we have here. I saw the sidebar says it doesn;t technically have to be “for life”, just above average durable.
